The extremely anthropomorphized fish may be a bit offputting to adults, but kids will love the creative stylings of the oddly dark Shark Tale. Will Smith plays Oscar, a small, underachieving fish with big dreams. So when mob-connected great white shark Frankie is accidentally killed, Oscar claims it was he who committed the crime, concocting the story with Frankie’s pacifist brother Lenny. Suddenly admired, feared, and revered by the other fish in the sea, Oscar’s lie catches up with him when Frankie’s father, Don Lino (Robert De Niro), comes knocking.

If you have children, chances are good that you know all about Dora the Explorer. The live-action film, Dora and the Lost City of Gold, actually treats the TV show as canon and allows Dora (Isabela Moner) to grow up a bit. Dora has spent so much of her life exploring jungles and ancient ruins that she’s not prepared to deal with life in an ordinary high school. Much to her dismay, Dora also discovers that she has grown apart from her best friend and cousin, Diego (Jeff Wahlberg). But before long, Dora and Diego are off on a new adventure, with at least one more treasure to find.
